Redirected from Impressionist Music
Philosophically, impressionism aimed to convey the emotional impact of an event, place, or thing, rather than an accurate portrayal of the thing itself.
Technically, the impressionists invented or began using a great number of new compositional techniques: Multi-modality, planing, extended tertian harmonies, and intentionally ambiguous musical forms[?]. Also, a sharp focus on tone color[?] led to many new orchestrational advances.
